Wood cookstove Install "?'s"

[Crystal H]

I would LOVE a wood cookstove in my home. I need to make this easy for my DH to want one too. SO...

Can one install a wook cookstove, like a stanley, using an existing fireplace chimney?

We have a fireplace, but as lovely as it is very inefficient. Would it be difficult to "retrofit" the chimney?

Thanks in advance for all your great answers.

as even though some of us might have a pretty good idea. we can not actually see your exact building condition.
Call in a local Chimney sweep.
